The coming controversy over admitting white refugees from South Africa
American Thinker ^ | 03/02/2018 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 03/02/2018 7:25:07 AM PST by SeekAndFind

The news that South Africa is moving decisively in the disastrous direction of Zimbabwe – confiscating the land of white farmers, which is by definition ethnic cleansing and almost certainly will involve mass murder (as it did in Zimbabwe) – has already sparked a petition to allow the resulting refugees into the United States:

More than 10,500 people have signed a petition asking President Donald Trump to let white people in South Africa emigrate to the U.S. amid a vote by the country's parliament to strip white farmers of their land without compensation. 

The petition calls on the U.S. leader to "take the steps necessary to initiate an emergency immigration plan allowing white Boers to come to the United States." Boer is the term used to describe South Africans of Dutch, German or Huguenot descent, who are also commonly referred to as Afrikaners.

The petition suggests that Trump should stop admitting refugees from Somalia and the Middle East, claiming they "cannot be properly vetted," and allow white South Africans into the country instead.  They "can be easily vetted and also possess skills that make them compatible with our culture and civilization," the petition says.

Similar petitions have been created in the E.U. and Australia.  Stand by for the inevitable backlash.

President Trump is putting a lid on refugee flows, and the left is dead certain that this is because of racism.  Asking to make an exception for white people is going to be called every nasty name under the sun, with special emphasis on those starting with R.

The fact that these refugees can be vetted, and that most of them will be fluent in English, skilled in agriculture, and immediately employable, will be dismissed.  Race is the only important characteristic they possess.

What a blessing if we could settle White farmers from South Africa in Mid-West towns that are dying for lack of population! Truly a win/win.

They can’t be refugees - they have “White Privilege”.

I’ll likely be labeled a racist for this but I honestly believe that white educated and skilled South Africans would be a bonus for America and its economy compared with unskilled uneducated Somalians from Somalia who would most likely just add to the economic burdens of America. But the race baiters and liberals would not want this to happen as it would only make their job harder, to keep Democrats in power forever.

We should vet ALL REFUGEES the same way. We should ask them....

“Do your personal or religious beliefs include hold that women are worth less than men?”

“Should gays be killed?”

“What should happen to member of your religion who leave the religion?”

“Should any other system of law have an equal value to the civil law in the country you reside?”

“Does freedom of speech include mocking or criticizing religious figures?”

If they answer these questions like a 3rd world savage, we shouldn’t let them in.

There are a few small groups who have emigrated. They are immediately labeled “the racists from South Africa” when they come.

They’re more likely to resettle in Australia.
More like what they remember from the old days in South Africa.

There are people on this board who will get the wrong answer to #5 and argue ‘til blue in the face that it is the right one.

As they leave, the white farmers should burn everything to the ground and salt the earth.

The US needs an immigration freeze.

I have sympathy for these people but there are plenty of very nice other places for them to move.

Oh very good, that’s good to know. It makes sense — they already have the same acceent!!! HA HA don’t kill me. I would imagine they would each say they most certainly do NOT have the same accent! But they both know UK ways.
